On September 9, oman WTT regular season challenge main tournament came to day 3, that is, the penultimate day of competition ~ afternoon is the quarter-final, and the evening is the semi-final.
On the Chinese women's table tennis side, playing in the semi-finals means one thing, that is:
Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi, who are in the same half district, are likely to fight in advance ~ the decisive battle between the two may come.
This is related to the crucial "Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships quota".
No matter who the two are, only by defeating each other to enter the final first, there is a possibility of winning the quota, otherwise it is exempt from talking.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this duel between the two is a "decisive battle".
So, why is it said that there is a "possible fight" between the two?
Because:
There is also a 1/4 final between them, each with an opponent, and only if they have passed the 1/4 final, they will finally meet ~ There is still a certain uncertainty.
Next, let's take a look at the overall situation.
There are no young generals in the first and eighth rounds.
If you say:
At the level of "regional competition", if our young women's table tennis players can still reach the quarterfinals or even the top four, then, at the regular season level, the level has increased sharply, and it will be quite difficult for the young players to enter the quarterfinals.
This is not only our young generals, but also the young generals of other associations.
Like, this time the women's table tennis quarterfinals are:
1) Upper half:
Choi Hyo-joo (Korea), Pesotska (Ukraine), Jang An (USA), Chen Siyu (Chinese Taipei).
2) Lower half:
Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Mitheim (Germany), Samara (Romania).
You see:
All of them are Mesozoic tough generals, or veteran generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, where is the shadow of a young general? Even if the Japanese women's table tennis player comes over, it will not be easy to reach the quarterfinals.
This states:
The higher the level of the game, the more mesozoic world ~ there are not so many talented players in the world, and the youngsters have to practice hard if they want to get ahead.
Second, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi may meet in advance.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals will be completed today, and the quota for the final will be out.
1) Qian Tianyi's quarter-final opponents are:
15:10 Qian Tianyi vs Samara.
2) Chen Xingtong's quarter-final opponents are:
17:00 Chen Xingtong vs Mitheim.
If the two pass this, they will fight directly and compete for the final place ~ If so, it means that the two will have to eliminate one, which is cruel.
In addition, you can't just think about the semi-finals, the two people's 1/4 final opponents are not simple, and it is estimated that they will have to spend a lot of trouble if they want to pass the level smoothly.
1) Mitheim:
It is the main force of German women's table tennis, who just won the runner-up of the European Championship not long ago ~ of course, she retired in the final, otherwise, Polkanova really may not be able to stop her.
This also states:
Mitheim has improved a lot recently, whether it is the ability to hold, the quality of the veneers, or the experience of the game, it has been a lot of improvement, and if she is played, it is also a bit troublesome.
Therefore, for Chen Xingtong, the game should not be too careless, or to strengthen the quality of attack and initiative, try to suppress her, do not let her have the opportunity to rise.
2) Samara.
The 34-year-old Romanian veteran, experienced, tenacious and very difficult, in the first two matches, she played 5 sets and won 3:2 in the end, very tenacious, not to be underestimated.
Speaking of Romanian players, do you remember a player who was also difficult to entangle in the last regional match: Diacanu?
At that time, she "a string of threes" for our young generals, all the way to the national table tennis to reach the final, very pulling wind ~ fortunately, Chen Xing was with her at that time, and finally lowered her, otherwise it was really a bit troublesome.
It seems that the players of "Romania" are really not easy to deal with.
Equally:
For samara, a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, Qian Tianyi should also pay more attention to it, be prepared to play 5 rounds, fully consider the difficulties, and do not carelessly lose Jingzhou.
I hope that the two can pass the 1/4 final smoothly, and then stage a wonderful derby battle.
Third, the opponents in the final are not easy to deal with.
In this competition, the overall strength of the first half of the district is quite strong ~ basically the "hardliners" and "stalemates" have the upper hand.
Like the two quarter-finals in the first half, they are typical showdowns between "hardliners and stalemates":
1) 14:00 Choi Hyo-joo (tough) vs Pesotska (hold);
2) 14:35 Chen Siyu (tough) vs Zhang An (holding).
These 4 opponents are very strong, and the confrontation of the two styles can be said to be equal, very exciting, and worth watching.
In the end, hardliners and stalemates, no matter who wins and reaches the final, are not easy for us to deal with ~ the final championship battle is definitely a vicious battle.
So:
This "World Table Tennis Championship quota" is not easy to take, it is not easy to overcome many difficulties, and every step is not allowed to be lost!
Anyway, let's cheer up!
